Just one trade, was a little distracted. Took a long at 1492.75 because of bounce off strong trend line. Exited early because I didn't like the noise we were in. Clear to see afterwards that it was just bouncing around in a channel, and i would have had an ok profit if i stuck with it.

Wasn't able to trade this afternoon but posting this chart for the record....

A good example of tradng a retracement after a triangle breakout. The trade looked good because of the breakout, retracement to 50% line, small downtrendline break, and it looks like there's a small W at the bottom too.

Happy with my CL trades today, stuck to the plan even though the voice in my head was trying to convince me they wouldn't work.

First short was breakout of double top at resistance line + trendline break. Took 1/2 off at next support line, where price bounced then went down again. Added to this position with the trendline break, making the right shoulder of a h&s. 1/2 off again when it got into trouble at 64.85... rest I held until 65.10.

Price had rallied and broke through the trendline, making a failed h&s in the process, so took a long. exited in halfs at the next 2 resistance lines.

Lastly, took a short at the break of the double top and s/r line. Hasn't gone far since but still holding.

I should really change the name of this journal since I've been more interested in CL than NQ.

Just one trade today - took a long at breakout of W pattern with higher low + trendline break. 1/2 off at 65.50, targetted 66 for the second half but didn't make it there, and got stopped out at 65.62.
